The songbirds awaken with the first tunes of dawn
And serenades break amidst clouds
Whilst long words retaken spin with grace of the fawn
And away goes the shivering shrouds
Bright eyes spring to conscious in inquisitive gaze
The grass sparkling diamonds of dew
The oblique of mornings pierces warmth through the haze
And everything rises anew
One pair was shining with particular glee
One mind gave radiance, feeling fresher than spring
One heart felt cooler than the sweet autumn leaves
Lyrethal Iris sang the song of the breeze
His lips bore a curl that none could forget
His face drew emotions from the souls own palette
His presence was cherished as the sun could be perished
But nothing would notice him yet.
The murmurs of children falling out of their dreams
The wonders all gilded, enveloped in steam
Everyone saw him but none understood
But he couldnt blame themnobody could.
The world saw him everywherethe sun was his carriage;
The warmth behind daylight to heal the disparaged.
When joy was abundant and dejection struck few
The grasses once sparkled with diamonds of dew.
The seconds flowed forward in their steady pace
His strength waxed and weakened but he glided with grace
Residing in hearts with his candle alone
He warmed all the world and drew sunlight from stones
Wherever he traveled, the gold swiftly followed;
Wherever he smiled, he silenced all sorrows
As day pursued footsteps from behind came in starkness
And as moon trailed the smile the world fell into darkness
The evening would whisper, enticing the fool
The starlight would sprinkle the memries anew
The moon brought a presence so refreshingly cool
But grasses grew dimmer as the diamonds grew few
And then day never came
The world stood still
The grasses would change
And despair took the hill
None could remember the smile of his features
And none could recall what he sang
And sooner or later they returned to their preachers
And soon it began to rain
And henceforth the nameless went nameless once more
The smile flickered faintly as the notes lost their score
The moonlight befell all the world below
The daylight paced onward
But nothing would show
The diamonds were drowned and the grass wouldn't glow

I'm wondering if anyone can find what it's actually saying, but so far everyone I've asked hasn't the slightest clue...
Oh well. Not deep enough. I need to perfect symbolism and be more cryptic before I start on my big project.
If you're interested, the author's note plays a big part, and the title is a clue of sorts, but the main thing you want is the feeling behind the poem. |

| ~:*beautiful*:~ too bad about your passerine dying, as he shed so much happiness and sunshine on the world, and warmth in hearts who heard, but then it would not be the excellent poem you have here, i'd love to see you write a poem on a nightbirds song as well, hugs n' love nessa |

This is one of the best poems i've ever read in my life, and I mean that wholeheartedly. There are no negatives about this, it's just simply an awe-inspiring piece that shall henceforth be burned into my head for keeps.
Truly,
-V.S. |

| Beautiful. I'm not the smartest person I alive, but I would love to know what it is that you meant by the work. I know what it means to me, but I'd be interested in what its actual intention was. |
